Abstract: |
The penetrative groundworks associated with the construction of the garage were undertaken whilst under constant archaeological observation. Mechanical excavations were undertaken by use of a 360º excavator, equipped with either a toothed or toothless grading bucket, as appropriate. The first phase of works consisted of the excavation of a geo-technical test pit in order to test ground conditions and soil depths down to the expected level of development impact. The second phase of works comprised the excavation of the garage foundation trench, along with the reduction of the associated interior area. The archaeological monitoring recorded Post-medieval or later soil make-up layers, which were probably related to garden landscaping, at depths of around 0.50m below the Modern ground. A single residual sherd of Medieval pottery was the only evidence for earlier activity. No archaeological features were present within the monitored area. |
